Italy 2006 World Cup winner Luca Toni feels Victor Osimhen would not suit Thiago Motta’s playing style: ‘I’m unsure if it would make much difference.’

The Nigeria international is on loan at Galatasaray but will return to Napoli at the end of the season and become available for a €75m release clause.

Juventus director Cristiano Giuntoli brought Osimhen to Napoli in 2020, and reports in Italy suggest he’ll try to sign the striker again next summer, especially if Dusan Vlahovic leaves for a high transfer fee.

“At the end of the season, everyone will have to make assessments, starting with Juventus, who must decide what kind of striker they want to rely on,” ex-Juventus striker Toni told Gazzetta.

“Osimhen offers more depth than Vlahovic but perhaps links the play even less than Dusan. So, I’m unsure if it would make much difference for Thiago Motta.”
